Book Description

Folio, pp. xiv, 371, [i]. Richly illustrated. Clean and bright within. Very dark blue cloth, gilt title to spine. Very slight wear to endcaps, near fine. Dust-jacket spine a little sunned, very slight shelf wear, very good indeed. Loosely inserted, an interesting correspondence between the noted book collector Eric Sweet and the Oxford University Press prompted, by Mr Sweet’s complaints about the quality of the book’s boards and the publisher’s proof reading.
